She Liu Gu Slices (Amorphophallus konjac) — Dried Chinese Herbal Rhizome, 500g

She Liu Gu Slices (Amorphophallus konjac), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Shé Liù Gǔ (蛇六谷) and also called Ghost Head Konjac or Snake Head Root, are the dried rhizome slices of a traditional Chinese herbal botanical. Long used in folk herbal practice as a cooling, phlegm-transforming, and mass-dissolving herb, She Liu Gu has been prized for its ability to clear heat, resolve toxins, and soften hardness. Its nature is pungent and warm with mild toxicity in raw form, which is why it is traditionally processed before use in decoctions and external applications.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully sliced and dried to preserve its pale greyish-white color, firm texture, and faint earthy aroma. When decocted, the slices soften and yield a mild, slightly acrid infusion that is traditionally combined with other herbs to balance its character. The dried pieces are uniform in thickness, clean, and free of visible debris.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, She Liu Gu is decocted into formulas traditionally used to clear heat, transform phlegm, and soften hardness. It is often paired with herbs like Ban Xia, Tian Nan Xing, and Xia Ku Cao in classical combinations. In some regional traditions, it is also used externally as a poultice or compress. As a food herb in processed form, konjac rhizome has a long history in Chinese culinary practice, though She Liu Gu itself is primarily used as a medicinal decoction piece.
